Roark's Formulas 8th edition vs 7th edition

[clmbmnts]

I am going to buy a copy of Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain. Has anyone used or browsed the 8th edition (just came out in Nov 2011)? I haven't been able to find any reviews and would like to how the volumes compare in organization of material and ease of use. I have gathered that some editions are better than others.

Thank you!

Gee, I'm still using the 4th edition I

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Go for it - you will never use it all anyway!

Like Nigel Tufnel of Spinal Tap says: "It's one better."

a good resource regardless of the edition

Hopefully the later the edition the fewer the errors that will have resisted discovery. Unless new errors are introduced with any new content that is added.

(Having said that, I have to admit that the copy in my bookshelf is only one edition more recent than JohnRBaker's edition.)
